Run-In With ‘Coot’
Robert A. Jones, in a lengthy column about himself (Oct. 5), referred to a driver (who crowded him) as a “geriatric coot.†I guess Jones believes the elderly to be a hazard to public safety and only the speeders should be permitted on our freeways.
At least, in that old “coot’s†time, his women could walk safely to church; and listen, without fear, to a concert in the park.
